Humans, in genera

Humans, even the shitty ones

Modern transportation systems

Cars

Subarus

My car

Music

Music, really--all of it--even the shit I don't listen to. Fucking notes on a page, some jerk singing. Brilliant

Computers (seriously, you wouldn't even be reading this without one. Ha! Get it? Hint: The joke is, nobody's reading this)

Family, specifically having three amazing siblings who are all their own amazing people

Family, specifically a mother who taught me everything I know about being kind, loving, and accepting of other people; one who said, "do anything you want, I don't care, just be sure you want to do it--and I hope you're good at it."

Family, specifically a father who cares, helps, and offers significant guidance in every walk of life.

Family, specifically the hundreds of cousins, aunts, and uncles who help remind me where I came from.

Snow

Sunshine

Warm rain

The feeling you get when you don a rain coat and tell cold rain to go fuck itself
